Packaged hemp products formed from raw cannabis

Abstract

Packaged hemp products formed from raw cannabis are provided. In one example, frozen hemp cubes or frozen hemp ice pops are provided. First, raw cannabis material is collected and blended to form hemp juice purée. Next, the hemp juice purée is poured into molds for manufacturing frozen hemp cubes or into tube-shaped containers for manufacturing frozen hemp ice pops, and the hemp juice purée is frozen. In another example, packaged hemp juice purée is formed by collecting raw cannabis material, blending the material to obtain hemp juice purée, and packaging the hemp juice purée using high pressure processing (HPP). In yet another example, hemp powder is formed by collecting raw cannabis material, drying out the raw cannabis material, and grinding the dried raw cannabis material to obtain a hemp powder. The hemp powder is packaged and provided along with instructions.

       6. The package of  claim 1 , wherein each of the frozen structures has at least 5.0 milligrams of cannabidiolic acid (CBDa) or at least 5.0 milligrams of cannabidiol (CBD). 
     
     
       7. The package of  claim 1 , wherein each frozen structure of hemp juice purée is formed in a tray having a plurality of molds, wherein the tray is formed from a food-grade material, and wherein each of the molds has an identical size and shape. 
     
     
       8. The package of  claim 1 , wherein no packaging material is disposed within the package, and wherein the package is selected from the group consisting of: a vacuum sealed package, a plastic bag, a container having a detachable lid, or a flexible container constructed from a plastic material.

       12. The package of  claim 1 , wherein none of the frozen structures of hemp juice purée has any decarboxylated cannabinoids. 
     
     
       13. A method comprising:
 (a) forming a plurality of frozen structures of hemp juice purée, wherein each frozen structure of hemp juice purée has cannabinoids, wherein each frozen structure of hemp juice purée has no more than 1% by weight of combined tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and tetrahydrocannabinolic acid (THCa), wherein the hemp juice purée is formed by blending cannabis plant material of a cannabis plant, and wherein all of the cannabis plant material is converted into the hemp juice purée; and
